Spain Dismantles France, Argentina vs. England Rivalry Preview | Atlanta Soccer Tonight, 7.14
from Off the Woodwork
Spain put together their best performance of the tournament, dominating France 2 to 0 behind Pedro Porro's overlapping runs and Rodri's control in midfield, while Didier Deschamps drew criticism for blaming the referee afterward instead of crediting a better team. Then Jason Longshoe and Madison Crews dig into the biggest match in Atlanta sports history: Argentina and England meet in a World Cup for the first time since 2002, with Lionel Messi facing England for the first time in his career. They trace the rivalry's roots from the 1966 quarterfinal and the Falklands War through Maradona's Hand of God and David Beckham's fall and redemption, then break down the tactical questions facing both sides, including whether Lionel Scaloni benches Rodrigo De Paul and how Argentina plans to handle Anthony Gordon.
